Dierbergs Markets traces its roots to a country store founded in 1854 in West St. Louis County. Four generations have managed the company, which had only one location until 1967. Today, Dierbergs employs 4,100 Associates in 24 St. Louis metropolitan-area stores and a location at Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks. Since 1978, thousands of St. Louisans have learned the joy of cooking at one of Dierbergs’ six convenient, in-store schools. Part of our winning recipe includes well-equipped kitchen classrooms designed especially for cooking instruction. Small class sizes create a friendly, informal atmosphere with plenty of time for camaraderie, questions and, of course, tasting recipes!​
